Line Making

Make one of John Betts' remarkable - and unique - hand-crafted fly lines with his new book and our Fly Line Materials Kits. These lines are very easy to make with a 4" doll maker's needle. The lines are not furled or braided, they are made with Dacron braided backing and monofiliment fishing line. Take a look at our free overview: Fly Lines - how to make them Overviewfor more information.Of course the book goes into all of the details, provides line recipes for 1wt to 7wt lines and light tenkara lines and details the construction techniques. Expect your first line to take about 3 hours or so, subsequent lines go much faster once you understand the process.
